watching people steal your bike...

laws are rulesthese guidelines for life seem almost unnecessarywe all know right from wrongwe do not need a sign every ten feet to tell us what the law is in that particular situation

the signs on the border of Rock Creek Park that say NO DUMPINGthose that are dumping their construction debris there know that it is illegalthe sign reminding them the law has no effect upon their actionlike the sign telling dog walkers to pick up their dog pooppeople will behave in a certain manner no matter what the law isno matter what the sign says

it only takes one ignorant contractor and one ignorant dog walker for a eye sore to be created or for a pet placed landmine to litter the area

there are various spots where people are dumping their shit whenever they choosehow can they be stopped?the doors and the paint cans...the worn out tires...the yard clippings that will never decompose in that large pile...they know they are wrongthey do not careto these people... it is an issue of doing what they doonly showing remorse if they get caughtwhich in so many ways is too late... unless it changes future behavior

behavior needs to be changedsome people just were not raised rightsome people just never grow up

Or perhaps there needs to be more education on what to do with those items, and where, when and why. Having an event in DC 2 times a year doesn't seem to be enough. If you ask me, there is a future in "waste" disposal. San Fran and other western cities have great reuse/recycle organizations. There is so much stuff that is crap to so many people but gold to others. I have a soft spot for rummage wanderers.

Snork... I always interpreted those signs to mean "people dump here and get away with it, but actually it's illegal." I suppose with the stuff there I might think it was okay since I could see the signs that other people did it... but the sign communicates the otehr message more effectively: if you have something you want to dump and get away with it, here's the spot!
